Our own summary of the original — the full post and photos live at businesswithall.com.

Ingredients

2-3 fresh apples (red, green, or yellow)
½ cup nut butter (peanut, almond, or sunflower seed butter for allergies)
Slivered almonds, mini marshmallows, or sunflower seeds (for “teeth”)
Optional: Strawberries or dried cranberries (for a “tongue”)
Edible eyes (available from baking aisles or make your own with chocolate chips and cream cheese)

Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Cut each apple into quarters and remove the cores/seeds. Take each quarter and cut out a wedge from the skin-side, creating a wide “mouth” indentation—but don’t cut all the way through.
Use your small knife or spoon to spread a generous layer of nut butter into the “mouth” cavity of each apple wedge.
Press slivered almonds, mini marshmallows, or sunflower seeds along the edge of the nut butter to resemble sharp (or silly!) monster teeth.
Cut thin slices of strawberry or dried cranberries and tuck them under the teeth for a “tongue” sticking out.
Attach edible eyes using a dab of nut butter above the mouth. If you can’t find edible eyes, use small dots of cream cheese and chocolate chips.
